This book examines the origins and dynamical characteristics of
atmospheric inertia-gravity waves in the Antarctic mesosphere.
Gravity waves are relatively small-scale atmospheric waves with a
restoring force of buoyancy that can transport momentum upward from
the troposphere to the middle atmosphere. In previous studies, the
dynamical characteristics of mesospheric gravity waves have not
been fully examined using numerical simulations, since performing a
numerical simulation with a high resolution and a high model-top
requires considerable computational power. However, recent advances
in computational capabilities have allowed us to perform numerical
simulations using atmospheric general circulation models, which
cover the troposphere to the mesosphere with a sufficiently fine
horizontal resolution to resolve small-scale gravity waves. The
book first describes the simulation of mesospheric gravity waves
using a high-resolution non-hydrostatic atmospheric model with a
high model top. The accuracy of the numerical results was confirmed
by the first Mesosphere-Stratosphere-Troposphere/Incoherent
Scattering (MST/IS) radar observation in the Antarctic. It also
depicts the origins and propagation processes of mesospheric
gravity waves on the basis of the results of the high-resolution
numerical model. The behaviors of mesospheric gravity waves can be
clearly explained using both fundamental and cutting-edge theories
of fluid dynamics
